ICAO runway surface condition reporting and GRF Training

From November 2021 ICAO and the FAA have mandated a new reporting format for Runway Condition Reporting.

We can provide leading expert knowledge and engaging training services to ensure your awareness is raised, from Senior Management to frontline runway assessors.

It is imperative all service providers are trained, fully briefed and confident in applying ICAO GRF. A robust working knowledge of the component parts of the new system will support a reduction in runway excursions and accidents related to any form of contamination. ICAO recommends a trial season of reporting THIS winter.

Our trainers are leaders in ICAO GRF as we provide not just outstanding technical knowledge, our trainers are also Pilots/Safety Managers who have first hand experience of working with contamination, investigating incidents and infield training expertise. They can draw on CRM, LOSA and TEM experience to enhance the process.

Benefits of GRF training

Reduction of incidents & Enhanced runway safety.
Reduction of expensive diversions and runway closures.
Greater protection from ICAO (once compliant ) for incidents related to contamination.
Greater utilisation of runway during weather events.
Full compliance with GRF requirements thus enhancing an airports reputation.
